The Cheerful Cynics

Ep56. Elect-ile Dysfunction

This week, starting with the drama happening over the pond with our American cousins, the cheerful cynics talk about the most fraudulent election to ever have taken place where over 1,000% over the country voted. It's even worse than what happens in North Korea!

Ep55. Tea Wars

Pooj sold his car just before Covid-19 and now he's thinking about his options. One is hiring a car for a year which one guy did in Japan which led to an expensive surprise. Gaia then talks about the strange reason why people in Japan have been hiring cars and not driving them. There's also talk about the very well-known and dangerous tea tribes in the UK.

Ep54. Chocolate Snow

Pooj decided to prank Gaia with a mystery package in the post. They talk about a town that was accidentally covered in chocolate along with some of the most embarrassing autopilot things they've ever done!

Ep53. UF-Oh No

The Pentagon has finally admitted that they're aware of the presence of aliens so you know the Cheerful Cynics had to talk about it. We also read out a few e-mails from our listeners! I

Ep52. The Birth of the Cheerful Cynics Micronation

The Cheerful Cynics have officially been going for a whole year! To celebrate, in this very special episode, the Cynics talk about setting up The Cheerful Cynics Kingdom. Does Queen Gaia and Jester Pooj sound good to you? We think so too (just don't tell Pooj about the Jester part).

Ep51. Sex Doll Canal

Following on from last week's adventure, we hear about the Yellow Fleet. Can you imagine suddenly finding yourself in the middle of a war and stuck on a ship for 8 years with a bunch of other ships from all over the world? It's a mini UN! All we know is that they seem to be more civilised than lockdown here in the UK. We're talking on board football games, their own Olympics and lots and lots of...toys.

Ep50. Shackleton on Ice

It's cold this week on the podcast. Imagine being lost in the Antarctic for almost TWO YEARS in the 1900s with ice crushing your ship. There's no GPS and even Elsa can't save you. At least there's a damn good whisky out there that celebrates this absolutely incredible recollection of true grit, determination and endurance. All we know is that we would have been dead weight from day one.

Ep49. Uploading Earth

Think it's the end of the world? Well don't fret! Our species is actually covered! This week we talk about the cool ways that organisations have started to backup the Earth. Think of it as a solar system library, but probably only for the 1%ers.

If you're listening from space, hi!

Ep48. The People's Cow

What does a hero cow, 26 scoops of ice cream, a beard, 634 failed murder attempts and a dictator have in common? Out question is whether Tom and Jerry copied the CIA or whether the CIA copied Tom and Jerry. What do you think?

Ep47. Bubbles, PB and J

Imagine having such an abnormal life that you pay people to set up a market for you so you can pretend to go shopping! Or imagine flying 2,000 kilometres just to get a sandwich. How about flying someone over the Atlantic just to make you a curry? This week we talk about true stories about just that. You better believe Elvis did one of these things.
